APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Brick and stone:

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Cementitious Substrate:
▪ New concrete should be cured for at least 28 days
and should have a Pull off strength ≥ 1.5 N/mm².
▪ Cementitious or mineral based substrates must be
prepared mechanically using abrasive blast cleaning
or scarifying equipment to remove cement laitance
and to achieve an open textured surface.
▪ Loose friable material and weak concrete must be
completely removed and surface defects such as
blowholes and voids must be fully exposed.
▪ Repairs to the substrate, filling of joints,
blowholes/voids and surface levelling must be car-
ried out using appropriate products from the Sika-
floor®, SikaDur® and SikaGard® range of materials.
▪ High spots must be removed by e.g. grinding.
▪ Outgassing is a naturally occurring phenomenon of
concrete that can produce pinholes in subsequently
applied coatings. The concrete must be carefully as-
sessed for moisture content, air entrapment, and sur-
face finish prior to any coating work. Installing the
membrane either when the concrete temperature is
falling or stable can reduce outgassing. It is generally
beneficial, therefore, to apply the embedment coat
in the late afternoon or evening.
▪ Prime the substrate and always use a reinforced sys-
tem.
Mortar joints must be sound and preferably flush poin-
ted. Use localized reinforcement over joints and prime
before applying Sikalastic®-590.
Slates, Tiles, etc.:
Ensure all slates/tiles are sound and securely fastened,
replacing obviously broken or missing sections. Fully
glazed tiles must be abraded prior to priming and sub-
sequent treatment with Sikalastic®-590.
Bituminous Felt:
Ensure that bituminous felt is firmly adhered or mech-
anically fixed to the substrate. Bituminous felt should
not contain any badly degraded areas. Prime and al-
ways use a totally reinforced system.
Bituminous Coatings:
Bituminous coatings should not have sticky or mobile
surfaces, volatile mastic coatings, or old coal tar coat-
ings. Prime and always use a totally reinforced system.
Metals:
Metals should be in sound condition. Abrade the ex-
posed surfaces to reveal bright metal. Use locally rein-
forcement over joints and fixings.
Wooden substrates:
Timber and timber based panel roof decks are to be in
good condition, firmly adhered, or mechanically fixed.
Paints/Coatings:
Ensure the existing material is sound and firmly ad-
hered. Remove any oxidized layers and use localized
reinforcement over joints.

Prior to application, stir Sikalastic®-590 thoroughly for
1 minute in order to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrain-
ment.
APPLICATION
Prior the application of Sikalastic®-590, the priming
coat has to be used and it must have cured tack-free.
The primer coat is Sikalastic®-590 diluted 10 % water
and consumption is ~0.3 kg/m²
For the Waiting Time / Overcoating please refer to the
PDS of the appropriate primer. Damageable areas
(door frame) have to be protected with an adhesive
tape.
Waterproofing WITHOUT Sika® Reemat Premium-
120:
Sikalastic®-590 is applied in three coats (1 coat is for
primer coat & 2 coats are Sikalastic®-590). Prior to the
application of second coat the indicated waiting time
in the table Waiting Time / Overcoating shall be al-
lowed.
Waterproofing WITH Sika® Reemat Premium-120:
▪ Apply primer Sikalastic®-590 diluted with 10% water,
consumption approximately 0.3 kg per m².
▪ Apply first coat* of approximately 0.3 kg per m².
▪ Apply second coat of approximately 0.5 kg/m² of
Sikalastic®-590. Work only so far in advance that the
material stays liquid.
▪ Roll in the Sika® Reemat Premium-120 and push into
the wet liquid and ensure full saturation. Overlap-
ping of the Sika® Reemat Premium-120 a minimum 5
cm and ensure overlaps are sufficiently wet to bond.
The roller may require only a little extra material to
keep wetted but no further significant material needs
to be added at this stage. The surface of the rein-
forcement should look wet and fully sealed. Then ap-
ply approximately 0.5 kg per m² of Sikalastic®-590
with wet on wet system.
▪ Before applying the final coat, check for upstanding
reemat fibres. These fibres have to be eliminated by
using sandpaper. Make sure that all upstanding fibres
are abraded.
▪ After the coat is dry enough to walk on, Final coat of
approximately 0.3–0.5 kg per m² of Sikalastic®-590.
Note : * It may not be applied, if the substrate is good
and the primer has covered substrate with proper con-
sumption and enough material.
TOOLS
Drill and paddle:
Sikalastic®-590 should be mixed for one minute using a
drill and paddle.
Solvent resistant short-piled lamb skin roller:
Used in the application of Sikalastic®-590 to ensure a
consistent thickness of the seamless SikaRoof® sys-
tems.
Thick hair brush:
For application of Sikalastic®-590 to all details and
penetrations.
Jet Washer:
If dust, vegetation, moss / algae or other contamin-
ants are present on the existing roof, a power washer
is required to clean the substrate prior to the applica-
tion of SikaRoof® Systems. Existing chippings should be

removed by hand or scabbling prior to power washing.
Airless spray equipment:
Used only for the roof coating systems. Two spray ap-
plied layers is the minimum requirement. The pump
should have the following parameter:
-min. pressure : 220 bar
-min. output : 5.1 l/min
-min. Ø nozzle : 0.83 mm (0.033 inch)
For example : Wagner Heavycoat HC 940 E SSP Spray
pack
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools and application equipment with water
immediately after use. Hardened/cured material can
only be removed mechanically.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
▪ Sikalastic®-590 can be applied on roofs subject to
short ponding water.
▪ Recommended slope of 1 % should be provided to
substrate. (Depending on Roof layout and availability
of Drains and Gutters, minimum could be 0.5 %
slope).
▪ Protect the applied material from rain until 24 hours
to get good ponding water capability.
▪ Do not apply Sikalastic®-590 on substrates with rising
moisture.
▪ Always apply during falling ambient and substrate
temperature. If applied during rising temperatures
“pin holing” may occur from rising air.
▪ Ensure that temperature does not drop below 15 °C
and that relative humidity does not exceed 80 % un-
til the Membrane has fully cured.
▪ Ensure that Sikalastic®-590 is totally dry and the sur-
face is without pinholes before applying any top coat.
▪ Do not allow temporary ponding to remain between
coats on any horizontal surfaces or until the final
coating has totally cured. Brush or mop surface wa-
ter away during this time.
▪ In cold climatic zones, Sikalastic®-590 should not be
applied on roofs subject to ponding water with sub-
sequent periods of frost. Otherwise a slop of more
than 3 % should be provided, or appropriate meas-
ures should be considered.
▪ Sikalastic®-590 is not recommended to be applied on
screed/concrete laid on top of insulation boards. In
this case, SikaBit® range of products are more suit-
able.
▪ Sika® Reemat Premium-120 can be used as total rein-
forcement or for partial reinforcements over dynam-
ic cracks and joints.
▪ Do not over coat Sikalastic®-590 with tile, concrete or
others. Sikalastic®-590 is an exposed system.
